What ever will make you happy is what we should do – I am very open to your ideas and this is your moment to capture what will make you happy – my ideal client is someone who will laugh at my corny dirty jokes and we can do it like they do on the discovery channel..
I really enjoy working with new mommas and dads and we can do what ever type of session you would like my studio is fully stocked and ready for you with wraps, baskets, and props.
I would love to come to your home and capture your newborn session! Lifestyle newborn sessions are all about YOU and the idea is for you to be comfortable, relaxed and as authentic as possible. These sessions are ideal for new big sisters and brothers (including the furry, scaley, or feathered kind.
Your baby is only little for a little while and a documentary lifestyle session will definitely capture all those little moments you don’t want to forget and showcase how adorable they are. We can capture your nursery if you like, or everyone snuggled up on a big bed, the couch, dancing in the kitchen ect. The emphasis is on the interactions with family members.
I usually look for an area in the home with good natural light but I will bring a small flash set up just in case as well. If there are sentimental items you wish to include with the photos please let me know and if nothing comes to mind don’t worry about it.
I will bring a few wraps and head bands so we can do a small wrapped session on your bed if you like. Most of the poses will be of the baby snuggled up with you and there siblings.
I find a lot of moms are worried about the mess.. well I have a 6 year old, a 3 year old, and 2 puppies….
I run my own business so imagine the tornado my house can get to!! Let the mess be I DONT CARE!!! As long as just the area we are shooting is picked up and odds and ends hidden in a separate area don’t clean everything it won’t show and I won’t remember.. the day is about fun and snuggling.
- You are now promoted to the Assistant to the Regional Photographer
I do not work with an assistant so mom or dad will most likely need to “spot” the baby for some poses. Which generally means I pose them and if we are doing a difficult pose I ask that you can place a finger on them to keep them steady – Please let me know if you have any restrictions so we can plan ahead.
- What to expect with editing
I always send sneak peeks within the first 1-3 days after your session! Final edits can take up to eight weeks during busy season but I try and prioritize newborns over other sessions.This timeline may seem long but it usually does not take this long at all but incase of covid or family emergencies I like to give a big cushion for life’s unexpected times.
